![BATMAN BEGINS (2005) Casting Christian Bale & Cillian Murphy [HD] Screen Tests](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_knjRA4df3E/mqdefault.jpg)
I loved his portrayal of the Scarecrow
Like a good Dr 😂
Never give up to save Batman😂
I liked him as scarecrow but I feel like they could’ve done so much more with that character. He could’ve been much more than just a throwaway secondary villain.
@@jeremyroberts8822 for sure, being randomly added back into TDKR was incredibly odd given his lack of actual dimension in Batman Begins. Can't say I hated any screentime of his though.
Same
ohh yeaah
I can't believe Batman Begins is already 18 years ago and it felt fresh in my mind!
The Batman Begins batsuit is my favorite batman suit of all time. Screw his nonsense about not able to turn his head lol. That scene when Gordon gives him the joker card is my favorite look of Batman!
"The Bat Man!" was a great delivery.
Murphy is an A-Class actor and he made Crane his own. Indeed if not for how Murphy pulled it off, then I don't know we would have gotten Arkhamverse Scarecrow how we did.
Nolan got his casting for Batman pretty much spot on throughout - obviously Bale, Cillian, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman & then the later films obviously the late but truly great Heath Ledger seemed an odd choice to many as the Joker at the time but boy oh boy was it the right call & even Aaron Eckhart - often overshadowed by Ledger’s genius but his turn as two face was phenomenal
Thank you so much for leaving out his interpretation of Bane. Absolutely no offense to the actor that portrayed him. I am a fan of Hardy's contributions otherwise.
Loved Bale as Bruce Wayne but not his Batman!
I actually would agree with most of this, especially about Eckhart's performance being overshadowed but really great......but I think Oldman was totally wasted on Gordon. Anyone could have done that Gordon really, but Gary Oldman could have played literally anything and nailed it.
@@mikekaraokeaside from the Batman voice, what did you dislike about it?
You do no it’s just pretending
I love Batman Begins, but my only complaint was it needed more Scarecrow
Scarecrow needed more cowbell.
Did a beautiful job as Scarecrow and to this day is the inspiration for so many artists all over the world on how to draw/portray him. Brilliant and fun fella and hope to see more of him (after a well earned break lol)
No one else can play Scarecrow. ;)
That movie was the first time I'd seen Cillian Murphy.
His performance was mesmerizing.
His performance was so profound that I said “Look it’s Scarecrow” when I saw the trailer to Oppenheimer.
@@richardgatling4663 What do you mean ? The way you wrote it sounds sarcastic but im not sûre.
That being said Cillian Murphy was a really good Scarecrow indeed and i wish we would have seen him more often as he waa very well used ( the character ) .. i still remember the scen when he is on a horse in the city, the atmosphère was really dark, great for Batman
@@Pablo-ig7tx I mean to say that his performance as the Scarecrow was really good. I’m glad he is getting more roles in movies and shows.
No one else can play scarecrow? Don’t get me wrong he was good but dude it’s a comic book character, literally any actor with enough talent can portray him lol
Scarecrow was in all three Nolan Batman movies.
Jonathan Crane was in Titans
We got eyes
I think he meant Scarecrow as a character in a different universe/timeline outside the Nolan trilogy. Like we’ve had Batman in the past and Nolan’s Batman, but we haven’t had any other versions of Scarecrow (right?)
So was Batman
@@TheSometimeAfter Coincidence?!?
Man i never would have guessed he felt that way, his portrayal of Scarecrow was brilliant
I hope he's given a more comedic role in the future. If anything, his Scarecrow character definitely had some funny quirks and his delivery is kind of effortlessly humorous in that role. It's something I hope he taps into as time goes on. RDJ certainly sunk his teeth into more comedic roles but is also a helluva dramatic actor. Maybe both of them in another film in the future would be great too--i bet they both learned a lot from each other working together in Opp.
I love how Cillian comes out of his shell in this interview, props to the interviewer! ❤
Excellent Crane. Hope i see him again for part 4. Another cameo would be so appreciated.
The Scarecrow 😍
I enjoyed hearing Cillian say a couple of sentences while the interviewer fucking prattled on for ages. Really excellent imo. Brilliant way of gaining insight.
If they ever made a film adaptation of Arkham Knight, I feel like he’d be perfect as that version of the Scarecrow too
He was in both sequels, just not as a featured character - the action bit at the beginning of TDK and the mock court bit in TDKR.
Yea, when he said that I was like that is wrong!
Death…or exile?
He seems like such a down-to-earth guy. That's one reason why everyone loves him!
He's still slight physically. Brilliant actor.
Absolute perfect actor to play Oppenheimer. If he doesn't win the Oscar its a travesty.
Josh is such a great interviewer. His passion for the process is infectious.
He would also make a great riddler.
Any chance we can get a SMALLER chair for Cillian??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just pictured Gary Oldman pulling the scarecrow mask out of his jacket welt pocket and waving it in front of Cillian like Truman.
“He’s here…”
“who??”
“the batman”
classic
He seriously does NOT look that much older than he did in the early 2000’s when he was doing the Batman movies (and the VERY underrated RED EYE that same year!)
Loved in the room scene with Falcone and showing his mask
Sadly that actor died weeks ago
sold! to the man in the cold sweat… death… by exile!
Classic!
There has been other incarnations, Titans had a Scarecrow who took over Wayne Manor, controlled Red Hood and smoked weed. Both were awesome.
Cillian Murphy I am truly your biggest fan You are always the best I love you so much I wish you success always❤️
I will bet you $1,000,000 there are bigger fans than you. No offence.
@@mondo_burrito There is no fan of Cillian Murphy except me. I dream about him every day and think about him every second and every minute because I love him so much too. Every one of us has his own opinion.
@@-Saijo.Juri. that seems like an unhealthy obsession. Are you ok?
@@mondo_burrito Yes I'm fine why?
he killed that roll
On a different note, this is the guy that would have been an Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. His voice and attitude would have been an epic fit.
I think one of the most funny lines is from him in Dark Knight Rises: "Death... by exile"
An amazing Scarecrow
Watched it last night always a great movie
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
Where is the full interview?
The Scarecrow was in the animated Batman series, but not in any live action Batman movie. It remains Cillian Murphy's stamp for now...
Dude knocked it out of the park as the Scarecrow.
He was awesome
28 Days Later i was a fan.
Seeing that in the theater was very memorable. It really put a new spin on an old genre.
He's the only villain that's in all three Batman movies.
His Scarecrow was awesome...
Loved him as Crane
He should’ve been the second villain in dark knight
BATMAN Begins
Scarecrow Begins
Great Dark Knight Trilogy ❤
Legend
Fuck man I love the Irish accent
This was the first movie I ever saw with Cillian in. Was this his first big part? What was he in prior?
3:50 no talk, just Demonstrate. Great clip
Why is this filmed on the set of Half in the Bag?
He was in All 3 KNIGHTS I believe.
This audtioning brought him his first Oscar! Great choice by Cilian!
I think a dark adaptation of scarecrow with cillian as the lead would be great lol
he was perfect for Dr crane
He'd have been perfect for Reeves' version of Batman.
Such a gem.
Anyone reading this looking for a great underrated Cillian Murphy film watch ANTHROPOID.
This guy is the perfect ScareCrow.
4:25 "oh yeah, that's right, i don't care" lol
They should have a standalone scarecrow movie ❤
I can totally get behind this guy as Voldemort.
Cillian is a genius
The most good-looking Scarecrow
I liked that franchise they way they put him in all 3,only downside was Katie holmes not being able to shoot the sequel
That character was the first time for me seeing him in a movie. I thought he for sure was at least a little bit like that character in real life but i was completely wrong
He was perfect as Scarecrow
We need a scarecrow movie.
Maybe cast Cillian Murphy as Batman this time in the new Brave and the Bold movie.
their needs to be a proper 18+ scarecrow movie, scarecrow is a such a good character to have his own horror movie
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He looked good in the mask
"Would you like to see my mask?"
Who is this interviewer and how does he get these celebs
That genius fell apart in Tenet.
Let's see Paul Allen's scarecrow
I think Cillian would have been great, but Christian was formidable and set the standard.
Imagine another christopher nolan with cillian as the main villan, and chritian bale also back.
Despite being a great actor and having the physicality for the role, Cillian Murphy knew that he wasn't the right fit for Batman. He felt that the role required a certain level of intensity and gravitas that he didn't possess. Instead, he was cast as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, a role that he felt suited him better. Murphy's portrayal of the Scarecrow was widely praised and he became a memorable part of the franchise.
His Batman audition is terrifying. He comes off like a serial killer.
For a moment I thought this was an episode of Half in the Bag.
Who are these two frauds? And what have they done with well known celebrity Rich Evans?
After watching Peaky Blinders, he would EASILY make a great Batman. And he has a great deep voice, he would not need trickery. But his main obstacle is that he is too short to be a big Avenger of the night. Maybe he could do Grendel instead. As Hunter Rose doesn't need to be big.
He was perfect for scarecrow I was terrified to be honest 😅
But he would have been awesome as Dilingers son in Tron Legacy he didnt even get anything apart from 15 mins of the film.
But he had it and should have been the storys main plot
Death or exile?
Only thing sad about his portrayal of scarecrow was that it was too short
I'd have loved to see Oldman doing Scarecrow sort of as his True Romance character melded in. Just to see him smile with a grill and ask Batman if "he thought it was White Boys Day?"
you need to lighten Up
"Real Men" cross their legs when sitting.
If Batman Begins was made now with Cillian in the part, they definitely would have changed it so he's the big villain and not a supporting role.
Wut? Wrong scarecrow was greatly portrayed.
These actors who have those American accents ... wow. Dude don't sound NOTHING like his stage voice! 😮
Htw took the part and the paychecks though.
Anybody seen his Batman screen test???? 🤤🤤🤤
Yes, it’s on here somewhere. Search it and you should find it
He was pretty good as Scarecrow, but I think John Noble's portrayal of Scarecrow in Batman Arkham Knight is the best one so far.
Give him rent!
This guy needs to let the actors talk more.
I was thinking exactly that and then saw your comment.
I don't know why Nolan had Scarecrow in his movies; he never used the character well.
Wait? Who is he in buttfam?
I appreciate Cillian’s honesty. He’s a brilliant actor but seeing his Batman audition his face under the mask didn’t really look like “Batman” and he was rail thin back then.
No you were not right for Batman.
But you were perfect for Scarecrow
Josh please please please bring pedro pascal to the show we need him an interview with him❤pleaseeeeeeeeee
Cillian Murphy wasn't right for Batman same way Robert Pattinson isn't right for Batman
Help me, CZcams Comment Section. I'm an idiot. What are "sides"?
He wasn't. Being perfectly honest. Saw the audition tape and it was weak. Doesn't mean he's not a fantastic actor. He's just not right for Bruce Wayne.
